Personally, I just want to be accepted (maybe with minor revisions).

DAD JOKES

However I will take my little nonbinary joys where I can get them while still being aware that sometimes that joy is unevenly distributed, and noting and making space for that too.

Also there's a big thing in here obviously wrt how trans people who were afab can experience this while a lot of trans women/transfems don't experience the same freedom to be butch without being mis/degendered.

Yes! It's a conference about the European Court of Human Rights, and I am presenting on trans lives and narratives in the court cases. Exciting :D

It's going to be a lovely conference and it is organised by kind and obliging scholars and I am going to enjoy it! But it is far away and involves several trains and a plane and many hours of travel, and I am just a small tired bird.

especially in these incredibly high tension times, you should simply not make even super obvious jokes about killing people on social media websites imo

and I get why websites like Bluesky are taking this stuff rather seriously at this particular point in time, personally

also I think it’s good actually that Bluesky isn’t really treating celebrities or high profile people differently from anyone else with regards to moderation, even if you don’t agree with those decisions

In line with much other research, the article *does* find that trans kids are more likely to experience bullying than many of their peers. But screen time is not the problem - transphobia is.

No, it's not. And I do feel like some of the bans/suspensions that have been handed out to more prominent PoC are deeply dodgy in themselves. But my heart goes out to the Palestinian accounts who keep getting banned even when they don't spam because it definitely hits them a lot harder.

I am feeling extra irritable today and my friend's account is gone AGAIN and I am just not able to be upset over a famous guy getting a suspension for saying he wanted to kill a named person through a named method.
